5 perfect players to learn basics from Pulse Sports writes on the basic football skills and the players you have to study to learn them from.   For our readers who are looking to become professional footballers, Pulse Sports brings you five basic football skills and the players you have to learn.

Verratti with 'small chance' of City return

Paris Saint-Germain midfield duo Marco Verratti and Javier Pastore have "a small chance" of returning for Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Manchester City, coach Laurent Blanc said on Friday. Blanc had ruled both Verratti and Pastore out of next week's trip to England following Wednesday's 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes, but the Frenchman conceded there was still a possibility they could feature at the Etihad Stadium. "Come on, there's perhaps a small chance," Blanc told reporters ahead of his side's game away to Guingamp in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

His task will be to restore last year's champions Chelsea to the top of the Premier League after this season's slump. However, with a dressing room lacking the strong personalities that have been a feature of the past decade, Hiddink believes it could take time. "That's an extra complication," the Dutchman told a news conference on the eve of 10th-placed Chelsea's game at Swansea City on Saturday. "When I came here the first time in 2009 the team was firm regarding the personalites. The players knew the culture of English football and the club such as (Frank) Lampard, (John)Terry, now it's a bit different and th
